Quoting from the Introduction
"Health care design research shows that the physical design of a hospital can minimize the risk of transmission of any infectious disease. This document aims to provide basic design guideline for an ‘Isolation Center’ for treating the suspected and confirmed COVID-19 patients, highlighting
important areas to consider for infection control. The Isolation Center can be designed as an extension or renovation of an existing hospital building or as a makeshift (temporary) Isolation Center, for supporting patient care operations considering the safety of healthcare staff and patients
and mitigating the spread of COVID-19 virus. This design guideline is deemed to be helpful in
evaluating the layout of an Isolation Center, whether independent or part of a larger facility, in
response to the need of COVID-19 virus treatment."
